"Toulouse, 10th April 1814" is an evocative engraving by T. Fielding, published in 1819 as part of the series "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington." This series, commissioned by Richard Westall, commemorates the military achievements of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, during the Napoleonic Wars. The engraving specifically captures the Battle of Toulouse, which took place on April 10, 1814, and was one of the final engagements of the Peninsular War.

The Battle of Toulouse was significant as it occurred after Napoleon's abdication on April 6, 1814, though news of this had not yet reached the combatants. The battle saw Wellington's Anglo-Allied forces clashing with Marshal Soult's French troops in a fierce contest for control of the city. Despite the eventual Allied victory, the battle was marked by high casualties on both sides and demonstrated the tenacity and strategic acumen of Wellington's command.

T. Fielding's engraving is noted for its meticulous detail and dramatic composition, capturing the intensity and chaos of the battlefield. The artwork reflects the Romantic era's fascination with heroic military exploits and the valor of soldiers. Richard Westall, an accomplished painter and illustrator, curated the series to celebrate Wellington's military prowess and to serve as a historical record of his campaigns.

The publication of "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" in 1819 came at a time when Britain was eager to memorialize its triumphs over Napoleon and to celebrate the heroes who had secured its place as a dominant global power. The series, including "Toulouse, 10th April 1814," remains a valuable artifact for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering insights into early 19th-century perspectives on war, heroism, and national pride.
